Looking east from the middle of the fenced garden toward the last real barn in Benderville a town of about 28,000. The cage to the left is to protect about a dozen bird feeders from Ma Bear. Those are Million Bells in the hanging pots and Dahlias along the fence on the near right~

This is a rhododendron called Golden Gait ~

You make me weep. *sigh*

My husband is enjoying the beds he worked so hard to develop last year. Garlic and onions going great, some herbs, carrots, and teeny beets are up. Waiting on the rest.

My side is straight weed garden. I have had some sad things to deal with, so my motivation is crap right now. But I did put in three miniature and wretchedly scraggly tomato plants that my husband started. He told me yesterday that tomatoes were MY responsibility this year. On June 5th. :) But with our clime it’s only a week late really. Off to the nursery tomorrow to see if they have any respectable plants. They have been really good these past few years with anticipating folks like me.

My raspberry bush looks grand - it’s third full year and I think I will have good results.
